Global warming has led to the extinction of many species. Scientists say that some animals will have to accelerate their evolution 10,000 times to acclimatize themselves to the changing climate. One such species falling into the clutches of climate change is the lynx found in Southern Europe.

A latest study from Spain reveals that climate change could drive the Iberian lynx to extinction within 50 years despite the substantial ongoing efforts to conserve their population.
